Had a productive day today. Only thing I hate is where the damn fuel filter is... Why the hell would you put it in the back, above the differential? Retarded and nearly impossible to get to with a wrench.

The exhaust was sounding like crap, rattling like crazy.. Got that fixed, the ceramics inside the catalytic converter were shattered. I just gutted it, so now I need to get a new one, but I had to anyways to put any aftermarket exhaust on there, it was bolted in front and welded in back, so whoever's great idea that was screwed me from a cheap smog test. At least it sounds better now, ran it for a minute with no exhaust at all, LoL... Neighbors must have hated it, sounds like a hot rod.

Also got out all the AC/heater components today, so that thing is empty. I mounted the passenger seat into the driver spot to lose some of the ridiculous weight that thing has. Most of my wiring is hooked back up, except I can't find the female connection for the passenger window. I wouldn't mind except it's down, LoL. Also my brake lights don't work anymore and my blinkers also stopped working. I'll get that all situated when my Hayne's manual comes, should be in Tuesday along with my short speedo cable... There's 3 fuses missing and I have no idea what they're for or what to put in them. Other than that, everything's legit. I'll take a day and my roommate and I will get to work on the sound deadening tar paper crap along the floor. Once the radiator gets in, all the AC crap under the hood will come out, along with anything not needed to run the engine, aside from PS/Alt... Clutch fan will come out, replaced with an e-fan.

Next is the badly needed oil change. Probably get that done tomorrow and I'd trust this thing a lot more. It runs alright except for the lopey idle... It's coming along.

[edit]
Fixed the lopey sounding idle. Gave it a little more air and it runs smooth for the most part now, it wants an oil change bad... And I think it already swiped the can of Restore.
